Painting Description

The altarpiece was commissioned by the Greater Guild of Crossbowmen of Leuven for their chapel in the Church of Our Lady Outside the Walls. It is now housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.
Rogier van der Weyden, one of the most influential Northern Renaissance artists, is celebrated for his ability to convey deep human emotion and for his meticulous attention to detail. "The Descent from the Cross" depicts the moment when Christ's body is being lowered from the cross, surrounded by mourners. The painting is noted for its dramatic composition, with the figures arranged in a compressed, almost sculptural space that heightens the emotional impact of the scene.

This detail exemplifies van der Weyden's skill in rendering human emotion and his sophisticated use of light and shadow to create depth and realism. The figures are depicted with a remarkable sense of individuality and psychological depth, reflecting the artist's keen observation of human nature.
